Have you decided to move, but homesickness is troubling you? Discover how to cope with these feelings and feel comfortable in your new home.
A move to a new home is often a double-edged sword. On one hand, the adventure beckons, the chance for a fresh start and the fulfilment of long-held dreams. On the other hand, feelings of homesickness may quickly set in, longing for the familiar and the secure. We at GoMovin understand this emotional rollercoaster and want to support you with our expertise, so that your move becomes not just a change of location, but a successful start to a new chapter.
Homesickness is a natural reaction to change, especially when it is as profound as a move. It is the longing for the familiar environment, cherished people, and routines that give us security. Yet, homesickness does not have to become a burden. With the right strategies and a positive attitude, you can overcome these feelings and feel at home in your new place. Let us explore together how you can master the move and create a fulfilling life in your new home. Our moving support offers you the necessary assistance.
Introduction: More than just a relocation
A move is far more than just the transport of furniture and belongings. It is a profound change in your life that brings both exciting opportunities and emotional challenges. We at GoMovin understand that a move requires comprehensive support that goes beyond mere logistics. That's why we offer you detailed planning and personal advice to make the moving process as stress-free as possible.
The emotional rollercoaster of a move
The move can resemble an emotional rollercoaster. Initial euphoria and anticipation are often followed by disillusionment when you find yourself in an unfamiliar environment. The feeling of homesickness can creep in, accompanied by longing for the familiar and fear of the unknown. It is important to understand that these feelings are normal and that it takes time to settle into a new environment. We support you in overcoming this emotional challenge and integrating quickly into your new home. Our expatriation preparation helps you mentally adjust to the move.
Move as a new beginning and challenge: The move offers the chance to reconsider old habits and explore new paths. At the same time, it represents a challenge to find your way in a new environment and establish new social contacts.
Homesickness as a natural reaction to change: Homesickness is a normal reaction to the loss of the familiar and the confrontation with the unknown. It is important to recognise these feelings and take time to adjust to the new environment.
The desire for familiarity and security
The feeling of home is closely linked with familiarity and security. It is the place where we feel safe and comfortable, where we have our roots and where we feel we belong. The loss of this feeling can lead to homesickness after a move. It is important to be aware of what home means to you and how you can rediscover this feeling in your new environment. We help you make your new home a place of security.
The significance of feelings of home
Feelings of home are essential for our well-being. They provide us with support, orientation, and a sense of belonging. A familiar environment offers security and stability, while the loss of this feeling can lead to insecurity and homesickness. It is important to be aware of the elements that constitute home for you and how you can integrate these in your new surroundings. Perhaps it is certain smells, tastes, traditions, or social contacts that you miss. We support you in integrating these elements into your new life and creating a new home. A look at the question of returning home can also be helpful.
Familiar environment as a source of security and stability: A familiar environment offers us security and stability, as we know our way around and know what to expect.
The loss of the “home” feeling in a new environment: The loss of the “home” feeling can lead to insecurity, fear, and homesickness. It is important to be aware of what home means to you and how you can rediscover this feeling in your new surroundings.
Understanding Homesickness: Identifying Psychological and Social Triggers
Homesickness is a complex feeling influenced by various factors. Successfully managing it requires understanding its causes and triggers. Psychological factors such as personality types and social bonds play a crucial role. The new environment and its challenges can also exacerbate homesickness. At GoMovin, we help you identify these factors and develop personalised coping strategies.
Psychological Factors
Susceptibility to homesickness can depend on one's personality. People who find it hard to accept change or have a strong need for security may be more prone to homesickness. Anxiety disorders or body image disorders, as described in example GOK1828, can also heighten homesickness. It's important to be aware of these connections and seek professional help if necessary. We gladly provide contacts to experienced therapists and counsellors.
Susceptibility to Homesickness
The susceptibility to homesickness varies individually. Some people adapt quickly to new environments, while others need more time and support. Knowing oneself and considering one's own needs is essential. If you recognise that you struggle to accept change, it’s vital to prepare well for the move and set realistic goals. We assist you in identifying your individual needs and tailoring the moving process accordingly.
Personality types and their reaction to change: Certain personality types are more prone to homesickness than others. Individuals with a strong need for security and stability may find it difficult to adapt to a new environment.
Impact of anxiety disorders and body image disorders (as in example GOK1828): Anxiety disorders and body image disorders can intensify homesickness as they increase feelings of insecurity and discomfort.
Social and Family Bonds

It is crucial to maintain these relationships and establish new social connections in the new setting. We support you in building a new social network and nurturing your relationships with loved ones.
The Role of Family and Friends
Family and friends play a significant role in our well-being. They provide support, stability, and a sense of belonging.

It’s important to actively explore the new surroundings and become acquainted with them. We help you get to know the new city and integrate quickly.
Challenges of Integration
Integration into a new environment can be challenging. Unfamiliar places, a foreign culture, and difficulties in forming new social contacts can heighten homesickness. It’s vital to be open to new experiences and actively pursue integration. The expatriate tips article can assist you in this process. We support you in familiarising yourself with the new city, learning the language, and integrating into the local culture.
Unfamiliar places and lack of orientation: Unfamiliar places and lack of orientation can trigger insecurity and anxiety.
